Hello I'm an August applicant. I am worried because I have a single gap of 15 days (out of time application). But according to page 23 5th stanza of Long Residence and Private Life " For applications made on or after 9 July 2012 an applicant applying for an extension of stay or ILR on the basis of ...
I have called UKBA's 0870 number this morning to see if there is any progress on my application. You never get an answer from them unless your case has been completed/a decision has been made however, this morning lady on the line told me that they are currently dealing with September applications ...
Any news from the remaining Aug applicants? I am still waiting. They did say it was assigned to a case team, but i called again today and "Your application is not complete, we cannot give you any further information." Why is that?? One officer can tell me some info, other officer just back to origi...
I contacted my MP in the month of 6 but the MP was not helpful at all and sent a letter to UKBA after 5 weeks of my requested. She put my wrong name. I have been calling to their office and always the voice mail. She is not getting my vote in coming election at all. My timeline is Application date ...
This is my assumption based on my previous experience with UKBA postal applications I think if your visa was to be rejected, you will get result in less than half the time it usually takes to issue a visa.. previously when i applied for Tier 2, first time it took 5 weeks to get a rejection , i re-a...
Just want some feedbacks and ideas . I am an august applicant still waiting a decision. Most of june , july are still waiting . Ukba process time of applications is within six months. Most of us are waiting over that period of time . It is difficult to sue ukba and long process . According to the l...
Call 0870 606 7766, press option4, then again option4 and finally option2 to check the progress of outstanding application You can select these options as soon as computerised message begins Hi, I remember someone posted UKBA contact number along with options to get to speak to customer advisor on ...
A horror story from whatdotheyknow. This applicant has been waiting for the decision since FEb. 2012 and is treated in a (I think) dismissive manner by the authorities.
I had to wait for 9 months and I know it is difficult. The only way to keep your head straight is to think that the delay in only due to the backlog that the home office has to clear and has no reflection of ones individual application. Also, it looks like that are clearing out July and August appl...

Are there members who applied in May, June, July and are still waiting to hear from the home office (the first decision - not appeal)? I am an August applicant and am still waiting. Can I get some tips on how to cope with the waiting beyond 8 - 9 months? Is there anything we can do to remind the hom...
@settlement now, gsingh essential salt and other August warriors How is everything. What are your MP's doing? any response yet. Pls update I haven't received anything yet. Mine is 247 days (or 35.28 weeks) since the acknowledgement and counting. My MP is high-up (the MP has other duties in governme...
Hi, Thanks for the reply. The visa was expiring last week of March and I applied the first week of March. But because I did not attach the college attendance certificate then they sent me a letter to post it to them and I assume I would have got it back to them soon as. I should have requested for ...

If any member has official statistics about recent processing times of the set(O) applications and (of those applications) 10 year residence applications, please post. I would love to see them. Does anyone also have official documents about what constitutes "compassionate or compelling" cases? The s...
For members who are in a dilemma on whether to lodge a complaint or not. It does put them on their toes.... We are the experts on complaint handling and good administration. The Agency are the experts, with the power to make the decisions, on immigration matters. It makes sense for them to deal wit...
Hi, I would like to ask that if you could please have read of the background detail of my previous post? could you please let me know whether it was risky for me to apply for ILR in September 2012 or maybe I would be fine? As the waiting gets longer I come up with assessing all the records. Wish ev...
This is true. The August applicants who have already received a response are the few lucky ones. I wouldn't email the home office, having watched the dispatches though. That's like adding oil to the fire. Those who are still thinking about applying, think a year, ignore the 6 months service standard...

How did you deal with the prospective employers? This is another arena I would have tread carefully. Can't believe 10 years, I have been putting my head down studying , working and after 10 years I am still stuck in the same Dogma. I have withdrawn all of my applications (post-interview stage, offe...
